surgery + recovery time = hand stitching

This last week after having surgery, I've spent quite a bit of time on the couch. I have to confess, I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to pain. I know, can you believe it?!? The mama with 6 kiddos is a complete wimp. Ha!! Too funny, I know.... but this last week having something to keep my mind occupied...pretty fabrics and a new English paper piecing set to work on has sure helped! I have to say my dear hubby has been the biggest help too. I don't know what I would do without him!

Don't they look pretty with all the new spring blossoms!! Spring is one
of my favorite times of year just because of all the lovely scented
spring blossoms!!

Most the fabrics are from Leciens Old New collection that will be coming out
this month. I can't wait to see it on the bolt!! It will truly be like
Christmas opening those boxes from Lecien!! :)

After staying inside for an entire week, I had a bit of cabin fever. So I had to get one ready to take to the pool to work on while I watched the kiddos swim. It was sure nice getting out of the house!

Today I'll be taking it easy again so I don't over due it. I seem to do that too. The joys of getting stir crazy. :)

These are gorgeous Kerri! Hope you are recovering quickly from your surgery? :)I sympathise completely with the stir-craziness. I'm also recovering from my hand surgery last week and horrors! I can't sew! I'm a little jealous you're able to while away some hours stitching. My fingers are itching to sew something! I have to content myself with reading blogs and typing one-handed comments :)

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sometimes it's nice just to sit back and do some hand sewing. I never used to appreciate or enjoy it, but the older I get, the more I like it. Your paper pieced hexies are gorgeous, BTW. Love them.

Sorry to hear you needed surgery Kerri, I also hope your recovery is swift and worry free. Definitely rest well! Love the little diamond blocks you are making. And I'm going to be prowling your shop for the delivery of those Lecien fabrics for sure! Take care.

Hello sweet Kerri! Thank you for visiting me and for your sweet comment! It is lovely to meet you! I am so sorry you had to have surgery sweetie! I pray you feel better soon! I am so glad you have a good hubby to help you! You truly must rest and take good care of yourself! I love your blocks! They are so pretty and the fabrics are gorgeous! Your photos are lovely too! I am glad you could get out of the house, but be careful not to overdo! I am like that too, so I know how hard it is! Sewing is a really good thing because we can do something while we are sitting down! Much love, Paula xo
